P2, 6th sentence: "... ethics is truly both science and art."
How does that relate to "moral philosophy"? |

Answer choice D is | Quote: | | D. Ethics is the science of moral philosophy. |
Where "science" is science and "moral philosophy" is art. |

That assertion involves some mighty serious assumptions about what constitutes art. |

Art is then defined in the second paragraph of the passage as:
| Quote: | | However, the part of ethics which is art also calls on a person's affective and intuitive capacities, their moral awareness, and their personal qualities and virtues. |
Which explains the "assumptions that constitute art" as a "moral philosophy". |
